Scottish volunteers organise distribution of Christmas parcels for the homeless in Aberdeen
With winter cold and dark nights, help for the homeless in Aberdeenshire is much needed.
Members of the Order and Companions worked together to organise a Christmas supper for the homeless in Aberdeen, and to distribute much needed parcels of food and clothing to those in Banff. Donations came from Tesco, Banchory (food) and Primark, Aberdeen (warm clothing) and the Christmas parcels were packed by members of the Companions of the Order.
